Lot Report

Literature:

Cynthia Waye Cook, From the Centre, The Drawings of Luke Anguhadluq, Art Gallery of Ontario, 1993, page 40.

Note:

Anguhadluq was introduced to drawing by Gabriel Gely in the 1960s. He made drawings and later prints for about a twenty year period.

This work, representative of the start of his ‘mature period’ (1970-1982) shows certain modifications in his designs. According to Cynthia Waye Cook, he added “decorative embellishments to the clothing and faces of his figures” They gained pigmented faces, eyelashes, and parka fringes. These elements tended to disappear after 1973.

For related works, see Cynthia Waye Cook, From the Centre, The Drawings of Luke Anguhadluq, Art Gallery of Ontario, 1993, pages 70 - 71.
